Were any of those people invited to speak at UConn?



That's not the point, is it?

The point is that these protestors shouted down Ann Coulter, so that she didn't even have a chance to make a respectful presentation to the audience.

I think that speaks to the lack of civility of the protestors, that in the land of the free, she wasn't even able to speak her opinion. An opinion for which a few hundred people paid money to hear her speak.
So much for democracy, free speech, and the exchange of ideas.


If they were smart, they would have held their visible protest, but been civil enough to let her give her lecture. Then they might have been given a few rhetorical nuggets that they could say "There, see, she made her hateful remarks on our campus."

But all they did was, rather undemocratically, smother her ability to respectfully voice a perspective they disagree with.

They prove that they are the ones who are uncivil and un-American, that they are the ones who are intolerant, and not Ann Coulter.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
